Sort out stealth one way or the other

Stealth uses two skills, Move Silently and Hide in the Shadows. It has long been established that all stealth checks (the original hide and subsequent checks to remain hidden) use the average of these two skills. I propose three solutions.

1) Hard one: Fix the game so that HiTS and MS function separately as they should.
2) Medium one: Fuse the two skills back into one as they were in the original BG1.
2) Easy one: Update the descriptions on the thief skills screen to match the current game mechanics.

Number 1 is ideal, but I'd be happy with number 3 and it would remove confusion for new players.

Ta.

    It seems you don't have a number 3 there, but yeah I agree with you :)

    I like number 1, when I first played bg2 I thought that is how it worked, but derp it didn't, in fact if im not mistaken in bg2 vanilla ice cream only 1 of them determined if you were going to hide and stay hidden successfully and the other one just did squat, or at least that is what I have heard
